Cincinnati Playhouse in the PARK:  

The Marx Theatre season begins with the irreverent, fast-paced and hilarious
musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, September 6 -
October 7 (opening night: September 8). Often described as the funniest
musical ever written, Forum features a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry
Gelbart (creator of Tootsie and MASH) and is the first Broadway musical for
which Stephen Sondheim wrote both lyrics and music. This Tony Award winner
for best musical is a marvelous mixture of mischief, mishaps, mistaken
identities, misunderstandings and mayhem. Audiences will return to ancient
Rome where a crafty slave attempts to win his freedom by arranging the
elopement of his brainless, innocent master to an equally brainless,
innocent courtesan. Singing, dancing and (almost) a human sacrifice all
combine in an evening's entertainment - tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!

The Thompson Shelterhouse season begins with Randal Myler's Love, Janis
(September 22 - November 6; opening night: September 29). "Piece of My
Heart" . "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" . "Me and Bobby McGee" . "Ball and
Chain" - Janis Joplin, the icon of 1960s rock music, is brought back to life
in both music and words. Love, Janis paints a stunning portrait of the
artist not only through her legendary songs, but also in the poignant and
honest letters she wrote home to her family. The show was inspired by the
book of the same name by Laura Joplin and was described by the New York Post
as "a potent, fresh and enormously crowd-pleasing evocation of the legacy of
Janis Joplin."
